Me in 500 Words

Growing up, I knew what I wanted to do, I just didn't know how I was going to get there, or where this passion would take me. Growing up in New York, I loved sports from an early age due to not only general interest, but also through my father, as watching and playing sports was a good way for us to become as close as we are now. But he isn't the only person who's shaped this journey. 

I went to Catholic school pretty much my whole life, and that kept me with the same 15 friends my whole life, and that has stretched to now, where these are still people who mold the way I live life, and have always been there for me, through good and bad. 

 

While my life so far has been pretty normal, I have strived to always improve myself day by day, whether it's through hard work, or just giving myself time to let off some steam, I feel as though the good and bad have gotten me to where I am.  

 

I’ve always been pretty invested in helping people, which is why over the years I’ve taken up many different pastimes in order to fulfill this goal, including but not limited to helping out at my local church, as well as food banks and soup kitchens 

 

My love for sports had lead me to play for the first few years of my schooling, and while I was never the best, I always had a great time bonding with my friends and father, and of course feeling the sweet and savory taste of winning, a sentiment I’m sure I share with others. 

 

So that brings me to around my 6th grade year, when I realized that while playing sports isn't a sustainable goal, there may be something in the sports realm that is, which is why I told myself I wanted to major in sports media in College. 

 

So High School went by, and while it was stressful at times, I still enjoyed most of my time with friends in high school, and I was ready to go off into the real world, and make my mark in college 

 

So, I commit to high point, and this decision would prove to be a great one, as not only have a made great friends here, through my fraternity and other endeavors, but I also have been able to successfully find ways to progress in my major... well, majors 

 

After a couple weeks at High Point, I decided to become a double major, and also commit to journalism. One of my biggest strengths is my writing capabilities, and there was no better way to hone that even more, than to pick up journalism as a second major. 

 

So, While I know my journey is far from over, I know that what has brought me towards this point is still going to continue to support me, and for that I’m forever grateful
